4 recent Samsung cell phones that have already been discontinued

Every year we wait for major launches in the smartphone market, and when they arrive, it means that some older model will cease to exist. The problem is that the Samsung has been practicing a policy that doesn’t seem to make much sense to users. Modern and recent appliances are going out of production in a short time. In this article, see four models that have already been discontinued in less than two years.

4 recent Samsung cell phones that have already been discontinued

All models on this list were launched less than two years ago and are no longer officially sold by Samsung. This means that they have already been discontinued to make way for models that were launched less recently. The Galaxy A24, for example, arrived in Brazil a year ago and Samsung has already stopped selling it.

• Galaxy Z Fold 4: launched in Brazil in August 2022 – 1 year and 8 months
• Galaxy A04e: launched in Brazil in January 2023 – 1 year and 3 months
• Galaxy A54: launched in Brazil in March 2023 – just over 1 year
• Galaxy A24: launched in Brazil in April 2023 – 1 year

You can even find these models for sale in Brazilian retailers, whether in physical stores or e-commerce, but they are no longer sold on Samsung’s official website and stores. In my opinion, the impression it gives is that Samsung no longer recommends the purchase of these models, preferring to highlight cell phones that were launched a few months ago.

Other companies have done the same

Unlike other brands, Samsung has improved its system and security update policy, expanding it so that users can continue using the same device for longer. However, with this practice of “killing” a reasonably new device, Samsung is on par with other major brands on the market in a competition to see who can launch the most devices per year and consequently force its customers to buy newer, more modern models.

Motorola users are also affected by this rapid cannibalization of the brand’s devices. Devices with a year and a half of life, such as the Edge 30 Fusion It is Edge 30 Ultra have already been discarded from the company’s catalogue. The Moto G line is one of the most affected. It’s a very short time for a device that is in Motorola’s highest showcase.

Unlike them, on Apple’s official website you can still buy the iPhone 13, launched in 2021. Of course, at the usual exaggerated price, but it’s there for anyone who wants to buy. This sets Apple apart from Android smartphone companies.
